Officials say no known mold at JFK Elementary

By -
We received concerned emails about possible mold in the JFK Elementary School ventilation system. Pat Bradbury, Director of Facilities said:

“There is no known mold problem at JFK, in the ventilation system or anywhere else in the school. Regular and preventative maintenance takes place constantly throughout the year, in JFK and in every school building.  Inspections and tests are conducted by independent environmental specialists when needed. We will continue to do due diligence in making sure our buildings are clean and safe.”

    This is an absolute LIE. JFK has had an ongoing mold problem for 12 years. Many good teachers have transferred or quit because of health problems. Somebody needs to notify the Dept. of Public Health regarding this issue.

    Mold testing is always advantageous. This helps secure the area from such organisms and will help the people feel secured and safe. We should be thankful for companies that offer mold testing and mold cleanup.

Milford's Unsolved Murders

By NJM -
After the June 11 arrest of Luis A. Rodriguez for the 2001 murder of Walnut Beach resident Kelsey Monahon, I got curious about other long-term unsolved homicides in Milford. So, I began digging through the New Haven Register's archives; I looked at all the murders in Milford that we have on record (dating back to the 1940s) and I came up with a list of 9* unfortunate souls whose murders are unsolved. Here are all the ones I could find in chronological order: -Peter Spinelli (1996) -Unidentified male remains (1994) -Unidentified male remains (1992) -Anna E. Hiltz (1983)** -Constance Roberts (1982)  -Blasé Miserendino (1978) -Gary Steadman (1977) -Kenneth Matteson (1975) -Charles McCoy (1968) Sometimes, homicides take a long, long time to solve. And sometimes, after a while, people come out of the woodwork with some scrap of evidence or memory that helps close a decades-old crime. I'm still working on the story, but I wanted to reach out to the Milf...

Milford reporter Rich Scinto needs your help for a story he is working on today. At an Economic Development Commission meeting this morning it was revealed that the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site sold for more than $5 million. But the $5 million question concerns what will be going there. As Milford residents what do you think should occupy the former theater site on Cherry Street? Post your comments here or email Rich at rscinto@newhavenregister.com Here is what we have thus far.
